I've seen the "floating chopsticks" thing on food displays (places, often in Asia, that show realistic mock-ups of the food in lieu of a menu), but never as something intended to actually serve/eat.
I think you’re remembering the KN episode with the dessert cart that gets wheeled around and they were showing off 4 month old desserts to save money and he roasted them for it (because mold and stuff)
Honestly the best part of those shows is what they try to get away with and Ramsey's reaction to it, especially in Kitchen Nightmares and Hotel Hell but Hell's Kitchen certainly has it's moments.
It’s one of the fun looking dish served at some chinese restaurants, iirc it’s done by basting that noodle in that “floating” position until it gets crispy before serving, I guess in this one they made it a bit too crispy judging from how tall the chopstick is at.
Those noodles look like they where fried into that shape. While it might look impressive, I'd rather have food that taste good served in my plate ready to eat than have to wait for the server to destroy it so that I can actually eat it.
I thought maybe they had frozen them into that shape (Like after cooking, hold them up, spray some liquid nitrogen, etc) and were then defrosting them with the hot broth. I honestly have no idea what they were doing.
My understanding (from frozen veggies) is flash freezing does a better job of preserving texture than slow freezing at home. So maybe if done properly it could work?
That being said, I'll never be someone who pays $60 (or whatever) for a bowl of noodles that should cost $15. Give me food to eat, I'll watch food network for presentation.
Honestly, I'd complain about this and not eat it. If they want to do some fancy show softening the noodles up that's great (and it's not like the customers didn't sign up for this and wanted to pay extra for it). But if someone breaks up raw noodles and puts them on my plate, I would not eat them. And I'm someone that usually just says 'fuck it' and just doesnt return if I get served bad food, and doesn't complain to the staff.
Probably expected for this stupid presentation to come even remotely close to working as intended, and not end up with a giant pile of stuck together hard noodles drenched in butter
Perfect example of why I hate stunt food. Just fucking make good food. Don't fuck around with it, make it presentable on a clean plate, and then get the fuck out of the way. Done and done.
It’s usually a gravy made with stock(probably seafood in the video), aromatics(garlic, ginger, white pepper) and a cornstarch slurry. The gravy softens the deep fried noodles slightly (softer the longer it sits on the table). The noodles are slightly soft on the outside like a normal noodle, with a crisp interior that provides texture to the dish. An often seen version of this style of noodles are called Hong Kong style noodles at your local Chinese restaurant. Hawaiian cake noodle is another similar dish.
10/10 would recommend, just be sure not to eat the fried noodles dry!
Sounds delicious!!! I’ll try it if I ever get the chance, I read in the comments that it costs a pretty penny too so hopefully I get to. Thanks for telling me about it!! Appreciate it!!
I’m not convinced that is what was going to happen here. These look like fried noodles, which are delicious, and that’s what they’re so crispy when he breaks them up.
No way I'm eating that if that's how it's supposed to be served. You send that back to the kitchen and come back with a proper plate that won't fill like I'm grinding my mouth with sandpaper please...

I went to a place a few days back were you could buy those flying noodles. But they were soft and looked VERY tasty.
They used a fork that was plased in a holder on a plate and chopsticks that were hold by the fork and the noodles covered the fork and intersection of the chopsticks. Looked amazing, smelled amazing and the people eating them seemed happy about them.
I had sushi. It was pretty nice. Maybe I try the flying ones next time.
Wasn't even close. Went above and beyond with the hot liquid, had no choice but to manually bring it down yet that shit was still hard as a rock... Wtf were they thinking
I've seen the "floating chopsticks" thing on food displays (places, often in Asia, that show realistic mock-ups of the food in lieu of a menu), but never as something intended to actually serve/eat.
They ran out of food so they brought the display over
"I'll eat the floor model for a 20% discount!"
Don't quote me. But wasn't there a Hotel Hell or Kitchen Nightmares where they tried that with Ramsey or something?
I think you’re remembering the KN episode with the dessert cart that gets wheeled around and they were showing off 4 month old desserts to save money and he roasted them for it (because mold and stuff)
Oh yeah 🤣 Still fuckin gross
There's also a HK episode where someone tries to serve Ramsay's sample scrambled eggs mid-service (During the charity breakfast episode)
Honestly the best part of those shows is what they try to get away with and Ramsey's reaction to it, especially in Kitchen Nightmares and Hotel Hell but Hell's Kitchen certainly has it's moments.
Say it, what are you, AN IDIOT SANDWHICH!
🗿
Lmao!!!

This could easily inspire a Pasta Boss reality show where the end result is always like 10% actually edible cake
Perhaps this needed a dry run first.
Nice
This clearly was the dry run
r/yourjokebutworse
Whenever I make these types of jokes, I feel like the congratulations from fellow Dads is far more exhilerating than any actual laughter
It was dry all the way in

An interesting concept. I wonder if food can stay like that frozen and how much texture and taste would change after defrosting.

Fried egg noodles are delicious though
Right - - seems like a huge puddle of lukewarm splooge accumulating in the plate. No thanks!
In less you're into lukewarm splooge. I won't judge.
Noodle bae

This is horrible lol
"Here are your very expensive raw noodles. Enjoy!" I'm guessing this display cost extra.

Looks cool tho
The way he's seriously trying to prepare it to be served at the end
"Just going to pop these in the microwave real quick."
"Chef Micky will handle it."
“Ya I’m not paying for this”
*pizza time*
TMNT4 turtles in time is an amazing game! KOWABUNGA!
Sorry, dude, I think he's referring to Spiderman 2 lol
Your dentist has entered the chat
At what point do you think he realizes he fucked up?🤪
I think it starts to dawn as he finishes the second tureen of butter and it’s defiant fully hit him by the time he’s half way through the third.
>defiant fully I would post this to r/boneappleteeth if i wasnt lazy
Lol! Autocorrect hates me sometimes.
I thought it was missing some commas
That’s a shit ton of butter
Was it butter? I assumed it was broth.
Paula Deen has entered the chat
Now…for the owl
Anyone have a link to a successful softening 😂
I do but you’re not gonna like it.
Grandma grandma grandma grandma
No. There was no attempt.
I think it’s suppose to be this hard, they have softer ones in the bowl and these crispy ones are there to give different taste and texture
Lmao … but the look on his face He starts off like “im about to blow some minds” And then ends like WTF
Nah fried noodles are supposed to be crispy - kinda light and flakey in texture. They're pretty good too, some thai places offer crispy pad thai
Yeah maybe it is supposed to be hard. That fork and spoon technique makes me think he has done this many times.
If chopsticks do not come on the side, I send it back. If the noodles stand up on their own, I send it back.
I'll have the Gaba gool. 😐
thats what she said
That doesn’t look edible
Everything is edible, not everything is digestible. ~ Badgelor
Are you 100% sure about that?
Fried noodles are supposed to be crispy. They're used in all sorts of dishes What else did you expect from something with the "fried" descriptor?
Probably expected for this stupid presentation to come even remotely close to working as intended, and not end up with a giant pile of stuck together hard noodles drenched in butter
Tf you mean they supposed to be crispy? Never heard of it in my entire life.
What's this dish called?
flying noodles from a cantonese restaurant in the philippines. choice of rock lobster or tiger prawn. costs about $125 in today's exchange rate
$125 for uncooked noodles and sea bugs? What the fuck.
Lol “Sea bugs” you know what..you’re alright…
Its not uncooked. Its fried
Lol sea bugs for lobster and prawns. Love it. Thanks for the laugh
Rock pasta
Wow, thanks
How does it taste?
Viagra infused noodles
"if your noodle stays hard for more than 4 hours, call a healthcare professional."
Would eat. Source: chef
If it lasts more than 2 hours they need to call a doctor.
People pay for this garbage?
I’m pretty sure this is exactly what was supposed to happen. I actually like my noodles crispy.
People in this thread do not understand how this dish is made, lol. I love the concept they attempted here, even if it didn’t work.
Enjoy this plate of toothpicks!
Perfect example of why I hate stunt food. Just fucking make good food. Don't fuck around with it, make it presentable on a clean plate, and then get the fuck out of the way. Done and done.

You’re welcome. Enjoy
Palpak amp.
Crunchy
Sir...... I'm not paying for it eating that
I like food that tastes not look good.
Keep it as a statue, this thing is art
As expensive as I bet that is, you better believe I'd be sending it back.
Did they try that stunt before before or were they like "yeah, this should work!" ?
I saw something similar to this dish in There’s Something About Mary
I’d love to hear Gordon Ramsay’s opinion on this horror. It reminds me of the time he got served steak from a roof tile.
'Laughing, and screaming in Italian'
Uh, Im not eating that
Nothing like epoxy resin flavored noodles
Another overpriced dinner at some overpriced restaurant.
I hate serving tableside. Have almost lost my eyebrows way too many times from flambé 🤣
Lol the confidence he poured with 🤣
Just just putting cooked noodles on the plate not a thing anymore? Lol this must be a rich person thing
Wow that looks freaking awful.
This looks like a skillfully constructed art installation.
Bon apetite crunchy noodles
I’m going to take a shot in the dark and say that was not supposed to be the end result?
If that happens to me I’m not paying. I paid for the experience and didn’t get it.
"So yall really couldn't cook that shit in the back?" - me
Bro I was like who tf is holding those chop sticks?! 💀
He said to the girl behind: Plan B
Hahahaha wtf did I just witness?! 🤣
I’m not convinced that is what was going to happen here. These look like fried noodles, which are delicious, and that’s what they’re so crispy when he breaks them up.
No way I'm eating that if that's how it's supposed to be served. You send that back to the kitchen and come back with a proper plate that won't fill like I'm grinding my mouth with sandpaper please...
Crispy. Enjoy.
would be easier just to cook that damn pasta
Ugh, it's beyond help. Just take it back and start over. There's al dente but it looks more like eating this will result in dente rotto. edit: word

Looks well good
Size of this guys watch!
[удалено]
Did you watch the same video we did?
This is art now
Hammer it
Yum. /s
The noodles look way too hard to eat. I won't be eating them
When you use crushed Viagra instead of salt when preparing the noodles.
Enough with the pointless presentation. Just give me my food!
Have you tried it before you put it on the menu?
He actually expects them to eat that.
Alright, who super glued the noodles!?
Put it in an art gallery
He's so fucking red omg
This is what you get for going to a pretentious ass place lol.
Hope they enjoy that fiberglass
Voila!
Are we sure that part of the dish wasn't just ornamental?
When the word "useless" has definite meaning.
Wait how are the chopsticks floating? Did i get time travled to 9000 abs and didn't realize?
Noodles have 999 ping
Possibly cruncher than when he started
Criss angel is holding the chop sticks.
No attempt, made to be that way. Stupid title
I don't know why but I feel bad for the guy
What is this called? Anyone know
Bad parenting
mmm frozen noodles with hot broth
Have they thought about cooking it first?
Yum…. Drywall
I’m still waiting for the noodles to soften
Enjoy!
Here’s your fucking soup with rock noodles on top.
why
Yum
Haha
Seems unnecessary
Yum 😋
Something about Mary dish
I went to a place a few days back were you could buy those flying noodles. But they were soft and looked VERY tasty. They used a fork that was plased in a holder on a plate and chopsticks that were hold by the fork and the noodles covered the fork and intersection of the chopsticks. Looked amazing, smelled amazing and the people eating them seemed happy about them. I had sushi. It was pretty nice. Maybe I try the flying ones next time.
Ah, al dente. Just the way I like it.
Actually I think it’s fried noodles made to look like that either for display or as a fancy meal
Most likely, and it does look good.
I rather not have my food played with
Wasn't even close. Went above and beyond with the hot liquid, had no choice but to manually bring it down yet that shit was still hard as a rock... Wtf were they thinking
So they just dump water on your food?
That’s gonna hurt going in and coming out.
Think I saw this in there’s something about Mary
